Frankfurt on January 11 (xinhua He Lili) German energy storage association (Initiative Energien Speichern, INES) 10, said in a "normal" temperature curve, the German gas in the gas storage facilities at the end of march or at the end of April this year will reach 65% of capacity. German gas storage facilities may be fully populated at the end of the winter this year.
This would mean that the German gas storage facilities, storage level will be much higher than the same period last year. The end of March 2022, storage level of 26%, to 35% at the end of April.
Due to the decrease of energy co
nsumption and the German "multilateral" gas im
ports in order to make up for the inadequacy of im
ports from Russia, the storage level of the German gas storage facilities is a
bout 91%. INES expert assumes that the eu will develop as in 2016 in the next winter, even if appear extremely low temperature, and other negative events, the association is expected to also won't appear natural gas shortage. The association said that a positive outlook of "fundamental" lies in the co
nsumer economy. INES, general manager of Sebastian bly ShiKe (Sebastian Bleschke) said: "if the people co
ntinue to vigorously to save gas, Germany will be able to well through the winter."
INES predicted that Germany next winter's energy supply is in a favorable position. Even if Russia no lo
nger gas to Europe via pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) im
port reductions in Germany, the German gas storage facilities can also be in 2023/2024 to fill to 100% level before winter.
INES is natural gas and hydrogen storage facility in Germany operators association. The association currently has 14 members, accounting for more than 90% of the gas storage capacity in Germany.
